"Well, about that merchant trail . . . you know what? I'll just tell you. It's not a merchant trail per se, it's closer to a thieves trail. Criminals tend to use it to get places, but it's the fastest way to Tang-Tse. The shamans asked me last night to run an errand for them, and I get a few useful scrolls in exchange. I guess if you like, you could probably bring back some silks and spices or something."
